    12 ga reloading question

    I dunno if this is the right place for this question but here goes. I am reloading some 12 gauge for rabbit hunting. since I moved recently, all of my reloading stuff is in boxes buried in a storage unit so I can't get to it. However, I'm playing around with unloading unfired shells and...

    Is the 40 done?

    I went to a gun show today and saw lots of 9s, 45s, 22, 380, 32s and even some 10s... I didn't see one pistol in 40. Is it baked at this point?

    How can I connect a flashlight to my son's 20 ga 870? It has the standard length magazine tube Ty,

    where to buy 870 barrel?

    My son is outgrowing the 21.5" barrel on his 870 express youth model. Where can I get a 26" 20 ga for under $150? Ty,

    Why aren't double triggers more popular?

    I got my first double trigger SxS last year. I thought i would have trouble using it but shooting it felt very natural. Also, it has been 100% reliable. So, for competition guns, how come no one ever uses them? Just curious. I know a few O/Us come with them.

    Why the 300 Savage for the 6.5 Creed?

    ... And not the venerabler 06 as a parent case? Dimensionally they are pretty similar. Just curious

    Gun related things you are excited about

    For me about all that jumps out is the .22 Nosler. The 223 never called to me but the Nos looks like a more serious 1000 yard gun. How about yous guys?

    17 HMR Savage SA??

    I have some Cabelas points to redeem and have my eye on one. So... Are they at all accurate? How's the reliability? Ammo finicky? Thx... My son would like to plink with one also.

    Benelli/Fiocci 3" 28 ga

    I guess it was only a matter of time. I see the utility in it but, really this just makes me appreciate my 20s more. I still don't see how my Franchi inertia in 20 for 1/3 the price is not a better choice :) That said, for a very light squirrel or rabbit gun a nice SxS in it would be fun Maybe...

    12 ga Warthog performed well

    I just got a Stevens 311 12 which I think was made about '85. I got it off gunbroker and thought it was going to an old POS but it turned out to be in fine shape and possible never fired. Choked mod/full with 2 triggers, it is a dumptruck of a gun. It is my new Ranch gun. I just for back from...

    My 7.65 Arg Mauser project update

    In 1970 my father bought a 7.65 Mauser Argentine for $20. He meant it for deer but just was not a hunter. Over the years I found some expensive ammo for it and shot some targets with it. But with no way to scope easily, i put it in my safe and forgot about it... Until 2 years ago. I found a...

    CZ Bobwhite anyone?

    Anyone have or ever shoot one? For a low end sxs, they look nice. Chasing rabbit with a 20 sxs was a true joy when I was younger and I'd like to do it again with my son. Anyway, they look better then the Stevens equivilent.

    Best GMRS radio?

    Now that my son and young nephew hunt with us I need to keep in touch with them in the field. I"ve used some frs radios before but haven't been thrilled with them. A little more range would be nice so gmrs seems the way to go. Any reviews.

    Have you ever had a gun you just didn't shoot well?

    I took my son to the range today (his first real round of skeet) and I started with my Stevens 512 20ga... and did very poorly with it. So, I switched to me primary dove gun (SX3) and did much better. But, I have never done well with the Stevens. I never actually purchased the gun but got...

    Anyone here taken game with BP pistol?

    ... That includes revolver or muzzle loading short arm. I am game to try my 44 revolver on jackrabbit but I wonder how a 50 flintlock would work on hogs. It would certainly make for a memorable hunt but only if the gun was up to the task.

    H&R Pardner Pump??

    Any of you have or use one? I am considering getting a youth model for my 10yo son. He went on his first dove hunt last week and used a single shot 20 with a 410 adapter. For the price of a new single shot, I can get a Pardner 20ga and it will probably fit him better. But, if they are junk...

    Pattern question

    I have already posted my story about sending my Stevens 612 back to Savage and receiving a 512 O/U back. It is a nice little 20 ga but during last years dove season I kept missing with it. This was after I got a laser bore sighter and adjusted the comb so it hit to point of aim. It seemed to...

    30 hours until Dove Season opens

    What is your weapon of choice? I'll stick with my win SX3 with my Win 1400 as a backup. Both shoot quite well for me.... What do you guys like for dove?

    Problem with Win X3

    As the bolt moves forward pushing a shell in to the chamber, the next shell in the magazine loads into the bottom of the breech and locks the feeding ramp blocking it (so another round cannot be loaded into the magazine). This action should happen as the slide is opening not closing. I...

    Are Traditions BP Revolvers any good?

    I'm accumulating Cabelas points and will have enough for a BP revolver or a new recurve bow before long. But, about all they carry are Traditions and I've seen mixed reviews on them. Opinions??
